Breast implant sizer
A temporary, sterilizable, reusable breast implant of identical shape and volume to the definitive implants, designed to be trial-fitted within the surgical pocket.
How it is used
Used in breast augmentation to intraoperatively trial different volumes and profiles before selecting the definitive implant to be placed.
Clinical tip
Allows assessment of symmetry and aesthetic outcome before opening the sterile package of the definitive implant, avoiding unnecessary waste.
